2016 - Joining forces for better cancer registration in Europe

The JRC and the ENCR organised the 2016 ENCR Scientific Meeting and General Assembly, from 5-7 October in Baveno, Italy. The purpose of this bienial meeting was for European cancer registries to share research findings, discuss cancer registration issues, exchange ideas and best practices, network, present epidemiological work based on cancer registry data and to meet with the ENCR Steering Committee.

Some 170 European Cancer Registry representatives as well as researchers, epidemiologists and clinicians all gathered together to attend this event. With 36 oral presentations, 50 posters and three high-level keynote speeches, this scientific exchange during this event superseded all expectations. Moreover, the JRC launched its newly developed software for data quality checks, the software is freely available to all registries and the training workshop was attended by about 50 participants. This comprehensively innovative software will enhance the harmonisation of cancer data.The exchange of best practices and the networking was unprecedented and this was a milestone for cancer registration in Europe.
